<span>Lois used a credit card to make the purchase.
One can't purchase an item that costs more than the balance in a debit card. The debit card is equivalent to cash on hand. You can only spend what you have.
The credit card is equivalent to a loan. You don't have the money as of the moment but when you use the credit card, you owe the issuing bank the amount you've put on credit. The bank will pay the merchant and you will pay the bank. Interest is an additional expense when you pay your bill beyond the due date. The interest is applied on the amount outstanding upon the payment due date. </span>
Given:
Total savings = $400
Ratio of savings of Blake and Josh = 3:1
To find:
The saving of each.
Solution:
Let the savings of Blake and Josh are 3x and x respectively.
According to the question,


Divide both sides by 4.

Now,
Savings of Blake = 3(100)=300
Savings of Josh =100
Therefore, the savings of Blake and Josh are $300 and $100 respectively.
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x-10=8
2/5x=18
x=18÷2/5
x=18(5/2)
x=45
Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each time after the person gets off the scale, the reading is 2 lb the person's weight must be near the mean of
148-2, 151-2, 150-2, 152-2; that is to say, near the mean of 146, 149, 148, 150 = (146+149+148+150)/4 = 148.25
We could estimate the uncertainty as <em>the standard error SE
</em>
where
<em>s = standard deviation of the sample
</em>
<em>n = 4 sample size.
</em>
Computing s:
So, the uncertainty is 1.479/2 = 0.736
<em>It is not possible to estimate the bias, since it is the difference between the true weight and the mean, but we do not know the true weight.
